Checking Off the List

Okay. So this week… Not so good. We’ve been doing school. I like the days much better when we’re homeschooling. There is a difference, you know, at least in my mind.

When we’re doing school, we may accomplish everything, but it has all the joy of uninspired, unmotivated housecleaning. Lots of big sighs, mean looks and prayers for more patience NOW!

Could it be a coincidence that my days of doing school coincide with nights before of staying up too late (ironically to prepare for school in many cases) and then sleeping in instead of getting up early for quiet, personal devotions and prayer? Hmm…

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a mommy patient and wise. I’ll try this tonight.
